Product Information
The EDGE is an electronic device designed to measure throws of
your R/C model. It features a black on/off button on the front and
an LED to indicate the mode of operation. The device sends angle
measurements at a rate of 5Hz, but it measures angles at a rate of
100Hz.
Physical Overview
On the front of the unit, you will find the black on/off button
and LED opening. The underside has a Gecko skin sticker for
attachment.
Using the EDGE Unit
Powering the Module
To power the module ON, press the black button for 1 second.
Mounting the Module
Before mounting the module to the measuring surface, clean the
surface to remove dust. Place the module on the trailing edge of
the surface with the HINGE side facing towards the hinge of the
surface.
Changing Battery
Remove the bottom sticker and side sticker from the EDGE module.
Unscrew the 4 Phillips screws on the bottom to access the battery.
Slide out the old battery and replace it with a new one. Screw back
the Phillips screws and glue on the new bottom sticker.
Connecting Module to the EDGE Application
To connect the module to the EDGE application, open the app on
your device and power on the EDGE module. The main screen will
display the connected status and number of connected EDGE
devices.
Firmware Update
Refer to the manual of the EDGE application for firmware
updates. The application will offer an update dialog once the EDGE
module connects to it and a newer version is available.

FAQ
Q: What should I do if my EDGE device does not establish a
connection with the Android app?
A: If the device does not establish a connection within 1
minute, it will automatically turn off to save battery. Make sure
your device is within range and try reconnecting. If issues
persist, refer to troubleshooting in the manual.

Introduction
The EDGE device was designed to provide a precise solution to measure throws of R/C model. It can also be used in other applications where measuring of angle is needed, like Angle of Attack or thrust lines. The EDGE has a build in exchangeable battery and it has a unique “gecko skin” type of sticker on bottom so it will hold on to a surface without any additional attachment required. It measures an angle based on integrated 3 axis accelerometer and sends measurements via BLE communication link to the associated Android app – EDGE.
Key features
· Lightweight at only 6.5 grams with battery included. (almost no force on a control surface while being measured)
· Small: 25 mm x 22 mm x 11 mm. · Auto off function integrated. · Integrated LED which shows measure mode and device ID · Multiple EDGE devices can be used at same time (up to 4 devices) · Gecko skin like sticker on the back for easy attachment / detachment on surface · User exchangeable battery (CR1220) · Long battery life time! Up to 8 years on standby or up to 230 hours of measurements · Plug & play with RC electronics EDGE app
How it works
Once user presses on a small black power on/off button, EDGE module will indicate its power on measure mode with a blinking of LED. LED will blink every 2s and will indicate the EDGE ID for the application. LED blinks once, for EDGE 1, two blinks twice then EDGE 2. The Android EDGE app automatically addresses EDGE units with an ID when more than one EDGE is in use. If only one EDGE is in use, then it will always blink once.
If device does not establish a connection with the Android app within 1min, it will automatically turn off to save battery. Once connected to the app it will be on until either:
– User presses and holds on/off button for 2s (LED will go off)
– User closes the app, the unit will automatically turn off in 15s
– Communication with Android app is lost will also trigger automatic power off in 15s (for example – the Android device is more than 10m away)
While connected, EDGE will send angle measurement of angle with a rate of 5Hz, but it measures the angle with a rate of 100Hz.

Using the EDGE unit
Powering the module To power the module ON, press the black button for 1s
Mounting the module Before mounting the module to the measuring surface, clean the surface first to remove the dust. Dirty stickers will need regular replacement (2 extra stickers included in the package). Place module on trailing edge of surface so the “HINGE” side is facing towards the hinge of surface and start trimming the model .
Changing battery
Remove bottom sticker and side sticker from EDGE module. On the bottom, there are 4x Phillips screws. Unscrew them to get to the battery. Slide out old battery and slide in new one. Screw back 4x Phillips screws and glue on new bottom sticker. Side decal is up to user if he still needs them or not.

Connecting module to the EDGE application
Simply open the EDGE app on your device and power on EDGE module. The main screen displays the connected status and number of connected EDGE devices, measurement screens show green for connected devices. How to operate the measurements, please refer to EDGE application manual!
Firmware update
Please refer to manual of EDGE application. EDGE application, if your Android device has a data connection, will offer update dialog once EDGE module connects to it and newer version is available.
